The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An automatic stopstart controller for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission having a power transmitting means which permits a sliding between an input shaft and an output shaft thereof, a shift transmission mechanism, and a direct connecting means for connecting an input shaft and an output shaft of the shift transmission mechanism, the automatic transmission transmitting a driving power of the internal combustion engine to a driving shaft, the automatic stopstart controller comprising:
an automatic stop control means for stopping a fuel injection at a time when the vehicle is in a specified decelerate condition where the vehicle likely stops and an automatic stop requirement is generated; and
an automatic start control means for restarting the internal combustion engine by restarting the fuel injection at a time when a restart requirement is generated during a fuel injection stop period generated by the automatic stop control means, wherein
the automatic stop control means performs a control in which the input shaft and the output shaft of the shift transmission mechanism are directly connected with each other by the direct connecting means when the fuel injection is stopped based on the automatic stop requirement, whereby the driving power is transmitted from the internal combustion engine to the driving shaft through the power transmitting means.
2. An automatic stopstart controller for an internal combustion engine according to claim 1, wherein
in a case that the restart requirement is generated before the vehicle is completely stopped during the fuel injection stop period, the automatic stop control means cancels a direct connecting condition where the input shaft and the output shaft of the shift transmission mechanism are directly connected with each other by the direct connecting means, when a difference between a rotational speed of the internal combustion engine and a rotational speed of the input shaft of the shift transmission mechanism becomes within a specified value after the internal combustion engine is restarted by the automatic start control means.
3. An automatic stopstart controller for an internal combustion engine according to claim 1, wherein
in a case that the restart requirement is not generated before the vehicle is completely stopped during the fuel injection stop period, the automatic stop control means cancels a direct connecting condition where the input shaft and the output shaft of the shift transmission mechanism are directly connected with each other by the direct connecting means, when the vehicle is completely stopped.
4. An automatic stopstart controller for an internal combustion engine according to claim 1, wherein
the shift transmission mechanism has a gear which is unconnectable directly, and
in a case that the gear of the shift transmission mechanism is unconnectable directly when the input shaft and the output shaft of the shift transmission mechanism will be directly connected with each other, the automatic stop control means shifts the unconnectable gear to a connectable gear to directly connect the input shaft and the output shaft of the shift transmission mechanism.
